Let's face it - libraries are dealing with a lot. Budget cuts, misperceptions, decreasing circulation, staff burnout, keeping staff well trained, advocacy, you name it.

Services are increasing, and funding is decreasing.  And the answers to fix these issues aren't getting any easier.

Carolyn will discuss:

  • The Top 10 issues facing public libraries and
  • How trustees can help keep libraries vibrant and relevant in the 21st Century
